TOWN showed real resilience to claim a point against Championship leaders Cardiff.

James Vaughan had a first-half goal disallowed for a foul on keeper David Marshall while Cardiff defender Matthew Connolly shot against the bar.

Sean Scannell was thwarted by Marshall early in the second half before Alex Smithies pulled off a great save to deny Craig Conway.

Wins for sides beneath mean Town are now just three points above the relegation zone.
